    Default 1st attempt honing a heavy wedge Wade and Butcher - What !!!

    Hi all, so I've been trying my hand at honing my own razors recently, and I've been doing OK with my hollow grinds, but I just got a big wedge wade and butcher, and though I'm pretty positive I have the edge dialed in, it is still pulling hairs and shaving most so it leaves stubble.

    I'm worried: I used a buffer with polishing compound and put too much pressure and the blade got hot real fast, and I wasn't wearing gloves, had to put the blade down so I didn't burn myself. No discoloration on the blade metal, but I'm wondering, did I ruin the temper? can i get it back?
